Brand new, to me, bird!

So this is what the exhaust looked like. No wonder this car was such a headache šŸ¤£

That smooshed booger welded leaky pipe reminds me of my first dual exhaust setup, only less rusty :rofl:

I'm surprised the GFX wasn't precut for the duals

Yeah no kidding. My son figured out that it was molded for the second one. So we grabbed the sawzall and went to town. Considering the car isn't pretty we had a laugh at the whole thing. The system turned out really nice and it sounds great. Used a Magnaflow x pipe in the middle. A set of $50 ebay cats. New O2 sensors, NTK up front, Bosch in the rear. And the exhaust guy is a friend of mine so he let us use a used set of Magnaflow mufflers and he made us the tips out of some used ones that were welded to the mufflers.

I cleared the codes with my scanner, and now with actually having oxygen sensors the car is running much better and it doesn't smell inside. There were so many exhaust leaks before and with O2 sensors it was running super rich. It was painful to drive with the windows up. Made you very sleepy...

I couldn't stop giggling the whole time we had the saw. The tips were a joke too, until they started to look good
